Welcome to Rand Memorial Hospital.
:41:22
-Thank you.
-Can I help you to the table, Mr. Gardiner?

:41:25
Thank you.
:41:29
I feel very good in here.
:41:32
That's the oxygen.
:41:34
When I first got sick...
:41:36
...l had this entire room glassed in...
:41:41
...so they could pump in
some extra oxygen.

:41:45
Keeps my spirits up.
:41:49
You must be very ill.
:41:51
Aplastic anemia.
:41:55
The bone marrow doesn't supply
enough red blood cells.

:42:01
Not a damn thing they can do about it.
:42:04
They can keep me comfortable.
:42:07
Prolong my life with steroid therapy...
:42:12
...and these transfusions.
:42:16
But what makes my blood boil...
:42:19
...that is, what there is of it...
:42:23
...is that this is usually...
:42:26
...a young person's disease.
:42:29
Here I am getting along in years...
:42:32
...and I'm about to die
of a young person's disease.

:42:41
I've never seen anything like this
on television.

:42:45
Please, lie still, Mr. Gardiner.
:42:48
You'll join us for dinner, of course.
:42:51
Yes, please. Thank you.
:42:54
I'm very hungry.
:42:58
Yes, and so am l, my boy.
